    It's a great move. I was a corpsman (greenside). After I got out, I went to nursing school and now have my BSN and will be finished with an MBA Healthcare management next semester. I credit all of this to the Navy. You'll never be unemployed.

      Did you go to boot camp and became a sailor first ? I’m 15 and I’m interested and what does greenside mean , and are they regular hospitals and schools where you go to or are they like in a navy base ? Please answer if you can !!🙏🙏🙏

    Physician assistant schools love corpsmen and medics. You usually need some direct patient care experience to apply, and theirs is pretty much equivalent to any other nurse or EMT applying. Of course you have to possess a Bachelor's first, so on top of a good GPA and work ethic you should be golden for that path. In fact the first PAs were corpsmen who'd seen combat in Vietnam. They're a midlevel provider (so decent pay), you get to see your own patients, participate in surgery, etc. it's a very lateral field, which is great if you're not interested in nursing but don't have the time for med school.

      I want to be a Physician Assistant and I'm considering joining the Air Force as Physical Medicine or the Navy as a Hospital Corpsman with a Nursing Associate Degree I think the pay is better as a hospital Corpsman they give a 25,000 dollar signing bonus

    In 72 went continuous service from USAR mos 91Q20 (Pharmacy) to USNR, secured my rate as H M2, and saw that the opportunities that the Navy offered were amazing for Corpsman, and very flexible. Made HM1 on first try, and there again saw how you were respected as a non com, and as a Corpsman. Shame I couldn't keep my personal life at the same standard! Oh well, time matches on. I da do have dress HM1 patch affixed to my canvas ditty bag for my boat, and enjoy some of the occasional remarks from other fisherman.

    Great content Austen. Love what you’re putting out there with these interviews. I’m currently a nurse practitioner trying to get commissioned as a Navy officer. This might be a bit of a stretch but there are zero videos on nurse practitioners in the Navy. I’ve seen few RN info videos but nothing that goes into detail. Would you consider perhaps some day interviewing a nurse practitioner? Want to know how different it is from the civilian side. Excited to join! Once again THANK YOU SO MUCH. Keep up the amazing work!

      That’s a bummer bro.
      I had plans to join the military before I went back to school, but things changed once I got into the workforce while in High School.
      Now i’m in a whole new state away, with a more broad and better understanding of what it is I want in life without having to sacrifice 4 years for a degree and 2 years for the military.
      Plus I have my significant other with me and life hasn’t been any better. I’m really enjoying myself.
      You’ve created a mistake of jumping the gun before thinking about your future.
      No body knows you better than yourself.

      Dental tech is usually something you enlist as. But as far as other specialites; they're called C - schools. Any time after you finish A school you can try to get into those courses by submitting packages, etc. So in a sense you can go for a specialty that you want, but keep in mind it's never guaranteed and at times it can be very competitive.
